Character Creation Challenge 2024 - 27: Hameed [Coriolis]

 Second Coriolis Character

So the last one burned me a bit on the game, but I still want to see what a group would look like.

Second thought is that I should look over the ship crew position skills when I allocate skill points, as the remaining positions all require a skill you have to be trained in to even use.

Third thought is that if I GM this I might prefer to keep the game on a stranded colony or something, same with Alien, to avoid all the ship stuff. Traveller has more appealing space stuff to me, but that game is made for accountants so might not apply to other people.


1. Choose Background

Xinghur Humanit from Coriolis (stationär upbringing) in the Kua system.


2. Choose concept

Skeppsarbetare - Stuvare.


3. Calculate Anseende

1.

4 base, minus 2 for Humanit, minus 1 for Concept.


4. Choose name and appearance

Name: Hameed. [The concepts does have some name suggestions, didn't see that for first.]

Appearance: Sweaty face, tattooed arms. 


5. Allocate points to Grunnegenskaper

  • Styrka: 5
  • Kyla: 2
  • Skärpa: 4
  • Känsla: 3

 Not sure I've ever made a YZE character with 2 in Kyla/Agility...


6. Calculate Kroppspoeng and Stresspoeng

Kroppspoeng: 7

Stresspoeng: 7


7. Allocate points to Ferdigheter

Allmenne

  • Kraftprov (2)
  • Manipulera
  • Närkamp (3)
  • Rörlighet (1)
  • Skjutvapen
  • Smyga
  • Spaning
  • Överlevnad

Kvalifiserede

  • Befäl
  • Datadjinn (1)
  • Horisontens kultur
  • Medikurgi
  • Mystiska krafter
  • Pilot
  • Teknologi (3)
  • Vetenskap

I'm just going to assume being a stuvare in a sci-fi setting is still a lot of lifting things around, but also THE job with the most shit hardware and software solutions known to future mankind, so having to have some tech skills to get around that is needed. Being a Humanit in the seedier parts of the station also lead to some brawls, I would assume.

Having Datadjinn as backup for doing sensors on the ship, and an extra shot at hacking/helping I think is wise too.


8. Randomize your Icon and Choose Talents

 Icon: Spelaren

Class: Stryktålig

Humanit: Resistent

 

9. Choose personal problem.

You have a short fuse and get mad easily. You get in trouble often due to that.

 

10. Choose relationships to other player characters

None chosen.

 

11. Choose equipment

  • Verktyg, ordinära
  • Krafthandske
  • Tabak
  • Lastexo
  • Durakniv
  • Bakgrunnskapital: 1000 birr

 

12. Choose crew position

 Just so I remember:

  • Captain: Befäl
  • Technician: Teknologi
  • Pilot: Pilot
  • Sensors: Datadjinn
  • Skytt: Skytvapen

 Main: Technician

Second: Sensors

Opinions

 Adjusting for how the system works makes creating the character a bit more smooth. I still think the game has too much stuff for me if I want to play a YZE game, which is a bit sad. I am kinda considering making that (yet another) 2024 project - go over the game with a comb and do "this is what I would do for another edition of Coriolis". But at this rate it will have to be a 2025 or 2026 project...

I like this character more than Khulood I think. Can both some tech stuff and fighty stuff, and get through physical obstacles. Can get into Medikurgi, Vetenskap and Spaning too and generally be good at everything that isn't manipulating anybody.

Walking into the fog

This blog was made to have somewhere to put up characters for the challenge set up by TardisCaptain for january 2022, creating 31 characters for the 31 days of january. Link:  http://tardiscaptain.com/2021/11/19/2022-character-creation-challenge/  After looking at some entries into last year's challenge, it inspired me to want to create characters on paper instead of putting them on notepad or some kind of web service thingie. Sadly I can't sketch, or I would have tried to make a rough sketch of them too. I've not really been a player in game for something like 5 years now, I mostly GM. So this is going to be a bit of a change of pace.  My first thought is to make some "rival adventuring parties" for the systems I GM, and a character for systems I would like to play in games I do not GM. With the very typical backlog of games for someone who has been in the hobby since the 90s, I need to spend some time in december sorting out games and character sheets. Or I mi...

Character Creation Challenge 2024 - 9: Evren [Vampire: The Masquerade 5e]

 Second Vampire: The Masquerade 5e Character With the character I made to serve as a stand in character for someone that might show up to the Vampire campaign I am going to run this year out of the way, it's time to make some random stuff I could consider playing myself. 1. Core Concept  So one of the things I want to do going forward, is to set more and more of the quasi-real world settings in Constantinople/Istanbul and Ur. Since Vampire is a modern day game, it would be Istanbul. I have no chronicle planned and it's been a while since I read up on modern day Istanbul so I am VERY ignorant of details of what the current city is like. And as Vampire also often deals with darker things and gets all muddled up in politics muddled with the supernatural, this is not so easy to start with blind. Easy to turn to stereotypes. I am going to call the character Evren, whose Sire is Evrim. Big fan of the football club Galatasaray, and social life mostly revolving around matches and hang...
